LiontipsNorbert Gombos vs Emil Ruusuvuori. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Bastad (July 15, 2021).
Command Analysis
Gombos has looked great on clay this season. This is his favorite surface, after all. He won 12 out of 21 matches on clay in 2021. In Munich, Parma, and Marbella, he reached the quarterfinals, which helped him maintain his position in the top hundred of the world rankings. Norbert started his campaign at the Swedish Open with a victory over Pablo Cuevas. The Slovak lost the first set with a score of 1-6, but he managed to come back and won the next two sets quite confidently - 7-6, 6-2.
Ruusuvuori is having a hard time on clay. Emil's style is more suited for fast surfaces, so clay is quite challenging for him. But still, he won his first match at this tournament. This was a strong-willed victory over Mikael Ymer (1-6, 6-4, 6-3).
We also would like to mention, that Ruusuvuori has already played against Gombos this season, in Parma. Ruusuvuori put up a good fight, but could not beat the Slovakian athlete (6-7, 7-5, 3-6).

Tip and bets
Ruusuvuori has just two wins on clay this season. And last year he did not get impressive results either - only three victories on clay. At Gombos, on the other hand, won over Albert Ramos, Federico Coria and Federico Delbonis.
It is unlikely that the representative of Finland can beat such a strong opponent on this surface. We suggest betting on Gombos.
Our prediction - Norbert Gombos to win.
The athletes have played at least 22 games in both head-to-head matches. Ruusuvori has a big serve, so we believe it won't be easy for Gombos to beat him. We are looking at a long match and suggest betting on total over 21.5 games.
